for the UniCrystal AirLok Hookup Wire

I purchased UniCrystal/AirLok OCC Copper Hookup wire from Chris at VH Audio. Chris is very knowledgeable of the products he sells. He helped me through the wire selection process. His communication was first rate through every step of the transaction. Chris even offered me a shipping upgrade which I overlooked during checkout. My order was shipped the day I ordered it and was at my door by the second day very well packaged and as described on his website. Upon installation of the UniCrystal/AirLok OCC Copper Hookup wire I used as jumpers in my Maggie 1.7s I noticed an immediate improvement over the wire I was previously using. It was jaw dropping! My first reaction was "Holy @#$%!" The UniCrystal/AirLok OCC Copper Hookup wire is pure and dynamic. I noticed increased transparency, smoother treble, more midrange presence, stronger and deeper bass impact. I encourage anyone in need of wire for their DIY projects to consider Chris at VH Audio.

Product Weakness:	none I can think of
Product Strengths:	transparency, dynamics, pureness, smooth treble
